We are hiring a research associate in the area of statistical genetics and psychiatric epidemiology to contribute to projects on alcohol and other substance use disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Specific areas of focus include whole-genome analyses of these phenotypes and other psychiatric comorbidities in ancestrally diverse populations; delineating the environmental factors that may modify polygenic predispositions; and characterizing how genetic and environmental influences for alcohol and other substance use disorders are transmitted within families. The Research Associate position will be based in the newly-established Rutgers Center for the Genomics of Psychiatric Health and Addiction (RCGPHA), housed within the Department of Psychiatry at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. The Research Associate will be jointly supervised by Dr. Jessica Salvatore and Dr. Tim Bigdeli.
